    About a year ago I had a blood test. My triglycerides were through the roof, almost 950. My blood was tinted yellow. I don't drink much, maybe on average 4 drinks a week. I did consume a fair amount of carbohydrates. I don't recollect at this point what percentage. My doctor wanted to prescribe a statin. I am only in my early 50's. I am not ready to get on the drug train! He gave me 3 months to see what a change in diet would do. I cut carbs out almost completely and 3 months later my triglycerides were under 100. So, I consider myself a good example of what a change in diet can accomplish!

    I am 68 years old. I am a perfect example of what you are saying! My triglycerides came in at 298 when I was eating and drinking lots of sugars and pastas. It was dumb on my part to have so much right before my blood work. I immediately suspected it and requested another blood test in 3 weeks. I stopped a lot of the ice cream, soda, bread and pasta and then took my blood work test. My triglycerides came in at 76! I'm a believer. So many people STILL are old school and stop eating eggs, burgers, sausages etc. and it DOESN'T WORK! Thank you Doctor Ken Berry! No pills for me!

My blood glucose hasn't been under 300 in a very long time. I'm on about day 10 with my new eating and just checked my blood sugar and it was 193. Still have a ways to go, but I'm on my way. I too go back for bloodwork in 3 months and am looking forward to positive results. Glad you have yours under control.

    • @peterpike
      @peterpike Před 3 lety +14

      @@lucylu9792 -- Some things have no cure. More important is what causes cancers, and most of them are caused by toxins in the environment (e.g., cigarette smoke, radioactive materials, etc.) so avoiding those is your best bet. I do know that tumors don't do very well on a keto or carnivore diet since they don't consume ketones, so that will probably help to some extent. But not all cancers are identical, and sometimes there's no known reason for why it occurs to a specific person. What I do know is that I don't consider poisoning myself with chemo and ruining the quality of my life just so I MIGHT live an extra couple of months to be "curing" anything, so I wouldn't go through that myself. If you want to, that's your choice though--more power to you. Just know that an industry that relies on you being sick in order to make money is disincentivized from seeking for and providing a real cure to you.

    Here's a simple remedy - don't eat anything that has a label on the container - fresh food doesn't have labels. Learn how to cook and prepare all your own foods from scratch. If your healthy then the doctors don't have any way to prescribe the drugs.

      @gregusmc2868 Před rokem +8

      @@HowDidIGet3700Subs I agree with both of your statements. I think there are MANY people who would like to be able to afford to only shop locally, only eat organic, free-range, pasture-fed, lightly killed, foods BUT, when they get to the grocery store and see the PRICES of meat, fish, produce, etc…they realize that they will be paying, in many instances, DOUBLE for the healthier products. I’m lucky to live close to a big-name, Midwest chain of stores that have “market district” attached to the end of their name. They have MANY options for organic produce but, yesterday I went to gather ingredients for a pasta salad and I looked at the fresh cauliflower-“ regular” cauliflower was 2.59 per head, organic was 4.49 per head. When you are caring for an elderly parent and “subsidizing” two children who are both college students, price differences like that end-up breaking the bank. I used to have an enormous garden and I harvested fresh produce every year and grew anything you can think of (that grows in my climate zone) I had a dozen free-range chickens that would lay delicious and organic eggs-that ate only organically grown food. I don’t have the time or money to do that any longer. I had to move to a different house in a different neighborhood to care for my mother and my kids-who are adults but still like dad’s home-cooking!” Lol. Many people, like ME can not afford the money or the time to do the organic stuff anymore. I had 4 heirloom apple trees, black and red raspberries and saved seed from year to year so I didn’t even need to pay for a packet of seeds-all my plants were open-pollinated varieties. Anyone who garden’s seriously, knows how much work that is. I loved the work but I’m pushing 60 and I work full time and the new neighborhood is nice but it’s not nearly as conducive to big-time “urban gardening. I’m lucky to have the options at least, to pay the price for organic if I want and can afford it, but how do people that live in area’s without the selection of grocery stores and without a means for getting to other stores supposed to deal with it? Sorry. That was way too long. ✌🏼

    My doctor said my triglycerides are high and just put me on Fenofibrate 54 mg once a day. I've been worried sick since then trying to figure out what to eat what not to eat. I'm a very picky eater so making changes hard for me because not only am I picky but I'm afraid to try new things because of foods textures or smells . And it's really been stressing me out on trying to eat healthy to lower my triglycerides. And I must say after watching this video I had no clue that it was all in carbohydrates. So now I'm like I got this I can cut out the pastries and donuts and cakes and cookies and candy . I've actually already even cut out sodas .

    Interesting! I don't have high triglycerides and don't know of anyone I know that has told me they do, but I am terribly curious and love to learn. They started my mom on statins which I objected to and she then refused. That was decades ago. She turned 102 in December and goes to church with me on Sundays. Great grandma fell off the step ladder washing the windows on her house at 102 but was nothing but black and blue, and lived in her own house taking doing the cooking for her daughters whose husbands had died, until they didn't wake up from smelling breakfast one morning and found her dead at 104 for no apparent reason. She wasn't on anything either, and her only problem was hearing if she couldn't see your lips. Relatives always ask my opinion and all I do make sure it is science that is driving it, and if there is another way other than pills. Thank you for posting.

I reduced my carbs intake to less than 25g a day, increased saturated fat in my diet, reduced my eating window to four hours and occasionally fast for up to five days. My Hba1C is 5.6, I’ve lost 14kilos in a year and feel energetic and full of clear brain power without the need for an afternoon nap as I used to have. I am 75 in a couple of months and the only thing that is needed is a plan and will-power.

    I have been battling High TGs for years though my Doctor never really explained to me the why. After COVID hit I had stopped exercising and was not following NSNG very closely at all eating like crap and BOOM out of the blue I get massive painful attack in the midsection one late afternoon at work, ended up vomiting on drive home. Wife thought I was having a heart attack because I was ashy and grey, rushed me to the ER. When I first arrived they kept drawing blood and telling me the machine did not like my blood, turned out my Triglycerides were off the chart along with my Lipase, and my pancreas was swollen. My blood looked like a purple milkshake. Then they started asking me how much I drank every day (I don't had not had a drink in months just a lot of McDs) 2 days later after having spent 18 hours in ICU on Insulin drip I got out and found food jeezus never going back. The last 2 days in the hospital they kept trying to feed me fruit, fruit juice, artificially sweetened pudding and jello. I said no just beef broth and eggs and bacon. No one in the place would believe me when I said I had been eating too much sugar and carbohydrates, they would have given me toast and jam if I let them.
    Can you provide the link to the drugs you said be careful of?

    I have been doing a ketovore diet for almost a year now. After 7 months on the diet, my triglycerides dropped from 797 to 349. Obviously still very high, my doctor insisted the diet isn't working and that I am at high risk of a heart attack or stroke (especially given family history). She wants to put me on a pill, but I pleaded with her to let me go a little longer on the diet and see if the number comes down. All my other lab numbers were normal, including my A1C and glucose levels (I am..or was..a type 2 diabetic). I do not eat sweets, don't drink, and avoid carbs as much as possible. I am typically consuming under 50 carbs a day and I do a 16 hour fast each day. This is the only "diet" I've ever been on where I'm not starving all the time. Thanks for all you do Dr. Berry!

      Why would you plead with a doctor to stay on the diet? It's not their choice, it's yours. They can't make you take the meds or get off the diet. If they insist on writing you a prescription, you are under no obligation to get it from the pharmacy. Do your own thing and go back and get a new blood test when you're ready. If the results are good then no harm, no foul and the doctor will go with the flow. If not and the doc gives you a hard time then F her. Leave and get a new doctor who's more knowledgeable and respects your wishes. Doctors work for us. Remember that.

That's how they got those T levels. All this was caused by out of control diabetes. Been on a low carb diet since then. Have lost 90 lbs. Diabetes has been controlled. Keto has changed my life.

    THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE got me into my Carnivore path and on the road to fixing my decades-long high triglycerides and cholesterol conditions. Found the video as I was laying in a hospital bed, recovering from L1 corpectomy and T12-L2 fusion brought on by a compression fracture caused by a single plasmacytoma around the L1 vertebrae. The VA doctors always said exactly the same thing, that it was hereditary and prescribed Lopid (had a really severe reaction to it) and then later fenofibrates and Omega3 supplements which did not help much. They suggested to limit my fat and alcohol intake and to exercise more, which I did, but NEVER mentioned lowering my carb/sugar intake which it wasn't that high, or so I thought. Thank you Dr. Berry! 100+ days in Carnivore and those conditions are now gone, my surgery recovery have been very fast, lost a few pounds (wasn't obese to begin with but welcomed) and hopefully, will keep future tumors from developing.

      Look at fasting!!!! Water and minerals for at least three days! Eat at six in morning, then noon, then start your fast! Your liver will run out of carbs to feed the body, then it makes a different carb called, Koteen. This feeds your body and starts reprogramming it. It changes cholesterol levels and then it changes into peroxide that cleans the body. Five days , would be better!! Please do some research . Good luck!!

    My triglycerides were over 3,000 way back in the early 1980's when it was first caught. Specialist I was sent to told me it's probably inherited, here take this LOPID 1x/day. Nothing was said about diet or anything that could lower it naturally. Even with LOPID, it can still be over 1,000. The lowest it has ever been tested at was about 500 and of course I had no idea why it was that low except that I was discovered to have diabetes in 1999, so over time I started eating better as I learned more about diabetes. NO DOCTOR ever told me carbohydrates should be eliminated, only that I should eat whole grains, if I eat them. Fruit was okay too, according to them. Well.... today I know better, but I had to learn all this on my own and with the help of these videos. I still have high triglycerides though, even when I eat minimal amounts of carbohydrates. I have NEVER been close to the normal levels, no matter what I do. It is frustrating. One doctor told me that if I haven't had pancreatitis by this age (66) with such high triglycerides, I may never get it.

    I'm 65 and my triglycerides went from 332 to 169 in 3 mos. I quit sugar, (l have a super sweet tooth since l was young) quit processed carbs, started IF, and lost 20 lbs. Started on prescription fish oil as well. And l have 20 more lbs to lose! I have a stent in LAD artery from 15 years ago and don't want another one or worse.👍😁 l now eat mostly grass fed meat, veggies, nuts, cheese, good fats, pastured eggs, and fruit only once and awhile. I'll have more labs in 3 mos and hopefully they will have gone even lower!

    I lowered my triglycerides 400 points by doing keto for 6 months! I am at 146 (now) and I still drink but only straight whiskey. My HDL went from 35 to 45 also! I did this to loose weight and avoid taking statins for high cholesterol (250 stayed exactly the same). My Dr is so happy with the results he's onboard with no statins and to continue what I am doing now.

    This is the one that I have been waiting for! Thank you so much!! I finally understand. My triglycerides are at 300. I started keto, but it seemed so inconvenient. Now, I see. This will kill me. I love your videos. I thank you so much!

      If keto is inconvenient then do carnivore. Easy and very convenient.
